Title:Intel CEO Says Data is the New Oil

Brian Krzanich believes big data will dramatically change the world.

布莱恩·克尔赞奇(Brian Krzanich)相信，大数据将显著改变世界。

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich enjoys talking about the future. And he predicts that in the future, big data is going to change every industry and everyday life for everyone.

英特尔首席执行官布莱恩·克尔赞奇(Brian Krzanich)喜欢谈论未来，他预测，在未来，巨量数据将会改变每一个行业和每个人的日常生活。

"Oil changed the world in the 1900s. It drove cars, it drove the whole chemical industry,"  Krzanich explains.  "Data, I look at it as the new oil. It's going to change most industries across the board."

“1900年代石油改变了世界，它驱动汽车，驱动了整个化工业，”Krzanich解释说，“数据，我认为这是新石油，它将改变所有的行业。

Since Krzanich became CEO of Intel (INTC) five years ago, he has steered the company in a new direction that he calls a  "data centric strategy" . That means diversifying into artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, and the Internet of Things. These all require vast amounts of data and Intel provides the powerful components to make all that happen. The new strategy has also meant Intel is less focused on what made the Santa Clara, California company a household name: making microprocessors for personal computers.

自Krzanich5年前成为英特尔公司的首席执行官以来，他引导公司走上了一条被称为“数据中心战略”的新方向，这就意味着公司转向人工智能、自主驱动和物体互联网。所有这些都需要大量数据，英特尔则提供强大的元件，使所有这一切发生。新策略也意味着英特尔不再把注意力放在促使加州Santa Clara公司成为家庭名称上：为个人电脑制作微处理器。

The strategy seems to be paying off. Intel's revenues rose nearly 6 percent to $62 billion dollars last year at a time when people were buying fewer PCs. Intel is now ranked at number 46 on the Fortune 500 list of America's biggest industrial companies. But as Intel prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Krzanich is racing to make the company bigger and more successful.

英特尔去年收入几乎增长6%，至620亿美元，当时人们购买的电脑（PC）越来越少。英特尔目前已在《财富》500强美国最大工业公司榜上排名第46位，但在英特尔准备庆祝成立50周年之际，克尔赞奇(Krzanich)正在竞相提高公司的规模，使其更加成功。

"I think we're moving a lot faster than we did five years ago,"  he says.  "I think if you go and talk to the employees, they've never seen the company on this level of pace of change and competitiveness. But I don't think you can ever stand still and say that it's fast enough in this technology world."

他说：“我认为我们移动的速度要比5年前快得多。”我想如果你去和员工谈话，他们从来没有看到公司如此变化步伐和竞争力。但是我认为你不能再站稳脚跟，说这个技术领域的速度足够快。
